In my article I draw attention to the earthen construction technologies in the area of the Great Hungarian Plain, for which the Slovak literature has name the Lower Land. In this geographic area has been profiled dominant model of lifestyle, known as the Pannonian cultural zone. In the processes of colonization of the Great Hungarian Plain, the clay was applied as the most affordable building material. According to the statistical surveys 80 to 90 % of the houses had earthen walls in all regions of this geographical area. For almost all Slovak colonists, as for the many more, the earthen construction technologies have not been a part of their cultural outfit that would have brought here from their home countries. Between the mid-18th to mid-20th century earthen construction technology took a dominant position to such an extent that in the area of resettled Great Hungarian Plain it became one of determining sign of the Pannonian – or Lower Land – type of house.

The paper deals with the activities of the writer Božena Němcová in Slovakia in the years 1851-1855. She visited Slovakia four times in this period (three times she visited her husband who worked here in civil service, her last stay was intended as a cure, while most of the time Němcová devoted to ethnographic research). All her stays resulted in contributions based on active observation, ethnographic and folkloristic research, consultations with a number of Slovak intellectuals dealing with both humanities and natural sciences. The results of the individual stays differ both in form and quality. They proceed from journalistic „causerie“ towards serious attempts of monographic elaboration of natural background, history, demography, sociological, ethnographical and gen-der facts of a given region. The contribution to folkloristic is outstanding. The writer used Slovak inspirations also in her fiction. Thanks to her activities, Bože-na Němcová belongs to the history of Slovak ethnology.
